It has been suggested that it probably is not against the 1969 GCRs to use a 5 sppedin our carsaslong as firstgear is locked out--meaning four forward gears without overdrive. Thoughts? Chuck -- Chuc
I certainly favor it, though I've managed to have a reasonably reliable TR4-based box using quaife dog-engagement straight cut gears. But that's an expensive proposition and the reliability suffers w

Speaking as the Race Director of one of those "national captioning vintage race groups", whatever that means, you need to understand and appreciate that every organization sets its own policies on ca
Mike, your comments are well thought out and put. Then it can be said without contradiction that we all race TRIUMPHs, more or less. Some more so, some less so. Bill (Damdinger) ** The year's hottest

Since the original 4-speed plus OD gives 7 distinct ratios, that same logic would seem to indicate that a 7-speed manual would also be acceptable. Or 8, if your lockout switch happens to be misadjus
I'm kind of an outsider here, so no particular axe to grind ... but isn't that why they call it "vintage" racing? I thought the goal was to have fun with old cars; not bolt some reproduction sheet m
Not sure which motor you are working on, Greg, but not too many years ago I walked into a Kragen (same chain as Checker and Shucks) and asked for a front seal for a TR4. They had two of them in stoc
This is where the vintage racing gets very confusing, and can be very disheartning to those of us with Truly period correct cars...and of course, we have no National Governing Organization....I would

This falls between the "good point except" and the "slippery slope" categories. No one requires full OEM vintage. If they did there would be very few running production-based cars. The megabuck cars
Don't some of the GT6 vintage racers use a TR456 gearbox? How difficult is that to do? Seems like that would be the best solution to Bobby's problem. _______________________________________________ S
We have some nice race car pics up but no street cars yet. I pretty much have the go-ahead for the autocross, now I just need to arrange it. We'll probably have it on Monday and it will be right in t
